title: [Alpha-N-Acetylgalactosaminyl transferase activity in mucous ovarian tumors obtained from blood group O2 patients (author's transl)].
abstract: We have demonstrated, by the transfer of (1-14C) GalN Ac from exogenous UDP[ (1-14C) GalN Ac into a glycopeptide H-acceptor, the presence of an alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase in the wall and fluid of ovarian tumors. The transfer occurs in the absence of exogenous acceptor but to a greater degree in the tumor wall and fluid obtained from blood group O patients, thereby indicating the presence of preferential endogenous acceptor(s) in tumors of these subjects.
